Hello all. I've been using StockFetcher the last few weeks and don't know how I've traded without it. I'm also impressed with the knowledge in the forums and look forward to becoming part of the community.
I'm have trouble building what I assume is a simple filter (I promised I tried first before asking for help).
I'm looking for something that says:
The last 2 days (at least) the close was below the open and today was a long black body (with little or no shadow and I assume that would be a percent).
My goal is to find a stock thats been down the last few days and really took a hit today so that I can watch for gaps tomorrow. This is based on "Guerrilla Trading" tactics.
Hope that makes since and thanks in advance,
William

Two versions, long and extra long...LOL!
HTH.
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.
P.S. StockFetcher, why is this returning WHITE CANDLES sometimes over the past 2 days? The charts are messed up!!

Absolutely beautiful! Exactly what I wanted. Thanks so much RumpledOne.
Now if I wanted to see what happened the next day after this scenario happened, would I add an offset or is that backtest?
Again thanks for your help.

Funny thing... I can't seem to get the hang of the SF backtest.
We all have our "blindspots".
I would just run the filter and the look at it 1 day ago, 2 days ago, etc...
HTH.
